Led Zeppelin Bassist John Paul Jones Pens Opera

Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul
Jones has revealed that he has been keeping himself
busy recently by writing an opera.

Jones was speaking with
Red Carpet News at the after party for the London launch of
'The Perfect American' by Philip Glass.

In the brief interview Jones discussed the project, which is
based on August Strindbergs's The Ghost Sonato' saying he felt
drawn to opera because,

"It's unlike anything else. It's the emotion, the
passion."

Jones was also asked on the likelihood of another Led Zeppelin
reunion, and although he refused to rule out the idea, he did point
out that he has other things going on at the moment. Going on to
say he only has time to "do little gigs that I don't have to
prepare too much for," he also discouraged rumours of a 2014
tour by saying, "2014′s full of opera for me at the
moment."
